About Matthew Bean

Since 1994, Matthew Bean has been representing people in the State of Washington in cases where they have been discriminated against at work, not paid wages, or have been injured due to the negligence of others.

Matthew’s desire to advocate for people goes back even further, having worked at the Washington State Attorney General’s Office, Consumer and Business Fair Practices Division in college, and the Disabilities Law Project and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission during law school. As a philosophy major in college, he studied the foundations for social justice. As an attorney, he strives to obtain justice, one case at a time.
